All Roads Lead to Wall Street

Posted on October 5, 2011

I can’t sleep at night.
I keep getting asked what I’m doing at Wall Street. I’ll tell you why I’m at Wall Street as succinctly as possible. My reasons change, but at 4:37 this morning, here’s why
(Betsy’s personal top 10 + 1)

• because decent childcare costs more than I could earn working full time
• because my parents are trying to get by on Social Security
• because my public library keeps having service cuts and has to perpetually fund-raise to keep doors open
• because of the state of public education
• because of how long it will take me to pay off my student loan debt
• because of the state of the health care system
• because of the death penalty
• because of war without end
• because of climate reality
• because of gender inequality
• because of violence, abuse and neglect in its myriad forms

I don’t sleep at night, but I dream another world is possible.
And so it is.

una generazione maltrattata - bruce sterling nella sua casa di torino

Una intervista a Bruce che mi era sfuggita: wired.it: (21 February 2011 di Andrea Girolami e Silvia Poeta)

Il rifugio torinese di Bruce Sterling è un covo pieno di oggetti, alcuni chiaramente di un passato polveroso, altri da un futuro che non è sicuro accada davvero. Sul tavolo di una colorata cucina un portatile sempre acceso, le carte le abbiamo portate noi, con una mente così brillante a disposizione non serve altro.
